Highlights•Phenotypic plasticity can influence the rate of evolution of insects.•The rate of
evolution will depend on how plasticity alters the strength of selection.•The response to …

Terrestrial organisms and ecosystems are being exposed to new and rapidly changing
combinations of solar UV radiation and other environmental factors because of ongoing …

Phenotypic responses to a novel or extreme environment are initially plastic, only later to be
followed by genetic change. Whether or not environmentally induced phenotypes are …

Ecology and evolution unfold in spatially structured communities, where dispersal links
dynamics across scales. Because dispersal is multicausal, identifying general drivers …

The adaptive nature of phenotypic plasticity is widely documented. However, little is known
about the evolutionary forces that shape genetic variation of plasticity within populations …

The capacity of marine organisms to adapt and/or acclimate to climate change might differ
among distinct populations, depending on their local environmental history and phenotypic …

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an individual genotype to alter aspects of its phenotype
depending on the current environment. It is central to the persistence, resistance and …

Aedes albopictus is a native mosquito to Southeast Asia with a high potential for disease
transmission. Understanding how Ae. albopictus populations that develop in the species' …

Increasing temperature and thermal variability generate profound selection on populations.
Given the fast rate of environmental change, understanding the role of plasticity and genetic …
